In fact, there is no difference in whether the Qin Dynasty used bronze ware in essence. Whether it can be done like this is the biggest question. As long as it can be done, bronze ware and iron ware are at most difficult to make and the degree of coins being distributed.

The problem with the Han Dynasty is that it is impossible to get on the assembly line. The scale used by craftsmen from all over the country is not the same standard at all. It is okay to make large pieces. If the small parts that require precision, the different accuracy of each part will make these parts unable to match, which will lead to no improvement in efficiency.

This is also an important reason why the Qin Dynasty could play assembly lines but the Han Dynasty could not play. The weights and measures collapsed again. Although it was not a complete collapse, the weights and measures in various places were indeed more or less problematic.

The reasons for these problems occurred were that after Jia Xu kicked Lu Xun and Lu Yu down for a visit, the above people knew the crux of the problem, which was also considered a problem of greed and historical legacy.

"In addition to these problems, there are other problems. After standardizing the weights and measures, the people below can also save the people from relying on big and small buckets, long and short buckets to harm the people." Liu Bei sneered, "I think you know many officials who dare to do such things. Although this is not a very serious method, it is better to avoid it."

Cao Cao nodded. Both rulers and dou have a tendency to grow larger with time. The reason is very simple. It is not good for the people to hand over a bucket of grain. If the dou used by the official becomes larger, it can be exploited more.

If one person pays taxes, the big dou is one liter bigger than the small dou, then a county can collect more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of liters of grain, and no one will cause trouble.

However, this kind of thing is very unhappy for Liu Bei. If you bastards don’t want to live, do you bastards? Although if you think about it carefully, this method is not too much, but Liu Bei is still very unhappy.

Some officials are not actually greedy for such a little food, but for political achievements, and they will also fight hard. After all, the amount of food taxes in agricultural society is a very important assessment for officials. The more taxes you have, the better you have for local management.

Therefore, if you use a big fight, you can’t do anything like a person who is unconventional, it’s all about climbing up and a convenient thing!

Naturally, after understanding these, Liu Bei also felt liver pain. I really hope to increase taxes. The problem is that the way I hope to increase taxes is that the grain output of your counties has increased, the land reclamation of your acres has increased, and it is not that you are secretly raising tax rates.

Under this mentality, Liu Bei's purpose of approving weights and measures is to strangle those scammers and cheating bastards and add less trouble to the people!

In fact, Chen Xi did not tell Liu Bei that the most core part of the standardization of weights and measures is not the present. Although these are also very important now, compared with the basis of future industrialization, the meaning and other aspects are far inferior.

Although the reality of this world is destined to be able to follow the route of heaven and earth essence.

But the basis of industrialization is not what its source of power, but social production changes. Standardized weights and measures can relatively make this path easier to follow when someone touches it when it reaches productivity in the future.

This is the theoretical industrialization method, but no agricultural society has developed to the point where a natural transformation of an industrial society has been achieved, because in theory, the full-sourced population in the agricultural society will never reach the lower limit of full-sourced population of spontaneous industrial transformation!

If two people can support one full-time population in the agricultural society, with the Han Dynasty's population of 47 million, there can be 16 million people without production and then the country can operate smoothly, then even if it is industrialized, at most it will release more production capacity without any trouble.

The problem is that Chen Xi is almost out of the blue now, and the full-time population is almost at the limit of agricultural civilization. Even so, the full-time population is less than 7%.

To put it too much, in the era of industrialization, this data can continue to operate. Seven percent of the farmer can support the remaining 93% of the population. The problem is that if you really do that, do you really need so many places in the Han Dynasty?

How could there be? After industrialization squeezed out these unlucky children, their handicrafts and agriculture could not save themselves. In a short period of time, tens of millions of people who had no jobs or life would definitely be in chaos.

As for the national level, once the people are in chaos due to their livelihoods, you will get ten Chen Xi and Xun Yu, and the people will not be able to eat. If you should tear you out of your life, you will still have to tear you out of your life.

Therefore, for the path that must be taken in the future, Chen Xi could only silently leave a seed and a full-time population who could reach the bottom line of industrialization as much as possible.

After all, theoretically speaking, the larger the proportion of full-time population, the lower the risk of industrialization at that time.

Anyway, Chen Xi is unlikely to continue to increase the proportion of full-production. In the future, he can only wait for a single machine tool to be similar to the means of production, which can be regarded as the basis of industrialization and gradually increase the number of full-production population.

In Chen Xi's words, this pot is too big and can't be played with. Something might happen to me. Forget it. Anyway, we are already the strongest, and it doesn't matter how strong it is. I will plant the seeds and wait until the time cycle reaches that day, and it will naturally take root and sprout.

Chen Xi's personality is destined to be unable to carry out social changes that may affect himself before he is exhausted. He is more concerned about stability and has no absolute certainty. He will not do such things that can be done to this country, even if it is completed, it will be just a icing on the cake.

With the dual constraints of rationality and sensibility, Chen Xi combined the general background of the times he lived in, he will work hard to eliminate the disadvantages that really affect the development of this era and lead the Han Empire to a more correct route. However, if Chen Xi wants to risk a gamble on a future, unless the Han Empire really reaches the point where it is not possible to change, Chen Xi will take action.

Chen Xi is not stupid. As a reformer, he does not have the ability to maintain balance, grant sufficient benefits to all parties, and coordinate the interests of the upper and lower classes, and ensure that the interests of all classes are not fundamentally lost. The reformer will die sooner or later.

Chen Xi can achieve this level not because Chen Xi is powerful, but because Chen Xi is cautious, controls the influence, and has enough reference. If industrialization is not done well, Chen Xi needs to pay his life, and he may not be able to achieve the results he wants.
